Please see "QMP invocation for live storage migration with
``blockdev-mirror`` + NBD" in docs/interop/live-block-operations.rst
for a detailed explanation.

+old compression method (since 8.2)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Compression method fails too much. Too many races. We are going to
+remove it if nobody fixes it. For starters, migration-test
+compression tests are disabled becase they fail randomly. If you need
+compression, use multifd compression methods.
